<p>Let's keep an eye on Barilla to see if they include gay couples in their adv.</p>
<p>Remember Barilla = Bar + garilla, the homophobe.</p>
<p>Sure as the world, I would come home with Barilla. Gee whiz, I can't remember!!</p>

<p>I wonder if they will back down on the whole issue that started the controversy. That would mean featuring gay families in their pasta ads.</p>

<p>Joan, from the almost immediate turnaround of Sr. Barilla, I think the idea of a boycott was highly effective. In this case, it's so easy - just pick a different box of essentially the same product, same price, same aisle and section of the grocery store.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Given Barilla's contrition, I don't want to be too harsh. This now seems like one of the fastest and most thoughtful, responses to a planned boycott, that I've ever seen.</p>
